ROTOR FOR DYNAMO-ELECTBIG MACHINES.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that we, ALBERT ZEHRUNG and REINHOLD Rt'mENBERG, German citizens,

and residents of 'Berlin-Wilmersdorf and Berlin-Charlottenburg, Germany, respectively, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Rotors for Dynamo-Electric Machines, of which the following is a specification. i

In rotors for dynamo electric machines, as known, axial channels are often provided for the supply of air and lateral openings in radial direction which communicate with said axial channels for permitting the discharging of the cooling air at different places of the axial channel. This arrangement possesses the disadvantage that the distribution of the cooling air will not be uniform on account of the fact that the of cooling air will naturally discharge at those openings which are first met during the passing of the air through the channel system. In case therefore the cooling air be conveyed from both sides of the rotor, the ends of the same would be most effectively cooled while toward the middle part of the rotor the -:dis-

- charge of the cooling air will be diminished and thus result into a cooling which is insufficient at the very places of greatest heat being developed. According to our invention this disadvantage is done away with by providing separate axial channels for the conveyance of air and individual radial discharge openings or groups of discharge openings arranged in the interior of the machine at a smaller or greater distance from the periphery.

Fig. 2 is a transverse section of the same on the line A-B of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section of another embodiment of our invention corresponding to line C-D of Fig. 4. Fig. 4 is a transverse section of the same on the line CD, of Fig. 3.

Fig. 7 is a combined side elevation and axial section, the section of the right hand upper part being taken on the line I K of Fig. 8 andthe section of the left hand upper part being taken on the line to the line EQ- .J-K of Fig. 8, these figures showing another embodiment, parts being broken awa Fig. 8 is a transverse section of the same on the line G-H of -Fig. 7. Fig. 9 is a combined side elevation and axial section of another embodiment, parts being broken away.

In Figs. 1 and 2, the teeth of the rotor, which is made of laminated construction, are provided with channels in axial direction. In distances 1, and Z from either end of the rotor there are provided groups or sets of radial discharge openings for the cooling air, which openings are. made by punching away the heads of the teeth as far as to the slot or channel positioned within the tooth. More particularly at the iron sheets which are positioned in the upper portion of section A-B those heads of the teeth are taken away by punching which are designated by uneven figures and those in the lower portion of said section which are designated by even figures. In this construction thereforeone half of the axial channels will exhaust the air in the crosssectional planes of the upper portions of sections A-B and the other half will exhaust in the cross-sectional planes of the lower portions of said sections. As in this case the cross-section of the axial channels for the introduction of the air is the same the desired distribution of air can most'simply be regulated by closing the diameters of the radial ducts a, b, as e. 9., by making duct a:

somewhat smaller than duct 6 and thereby equalizing the same quantities of air by having the same resistance of flow in said axial channels of difli'erent lengths Z and Z In Figs. 3 and 4 we have shown two of axial channels located at different radial depths. The oval channels g are positioned within the teeth and within the pole-bodyof the rotor, while the channels it which .re positioned farther down represent an enlargement of the slot ings but below the Winding. The exterior annular radial slots a are made by punching away the iron sheets according to the upper portion of cross. setion C.D in order to cut open the channels 9 alone. In the two exterior annular channels I) 6 however an entire punching away of the teeth and the pole-body takes place, so that also the axial channels it which are positioned below the windings will be cut by the punching process. Thus While the slots a are only fed from the oval axial channels 9 the slots 6 are also supplied from the rectangular axial channels h. These will therefore in spite of their greater distance from the endsurfaces of the rotor be able to convey the same or if desired also a greater quantity of cooling air than the exterior annular slot at, which will result in an effective cooling of th winding and other parts which are positioned farther away from the periphery of the rotor body.

In Figs. 5 and 6 we have shown a solid rotor having axial bores g in the heads of the teeth and in the pole-body and axial channels it below the winding. The channels g are shown in cross-section Fig. 6

which is taken on the line E F of Fig. 5,

looking in the direction of the arrows. The channels b which are positioned more toward the axis of the rotor will be cooled by radial bores e which are arranged in four groups orsets on the middle part of the rotor. a

Figs. 7 and 8 represent a solid rotor having axial bores g and k which are of different depth. The bores g are only carried through as far as to the exterior radial slots 41/. while the bores la pass through the entire rotor-body and Will be cut by the radial slots I) which are positioned more toward the axis of the rotor.

In the foregoing figures we have shown". only four examples of constructions which,

however, by no means represent all possible constructions according to our invention. There are many other ways by which it may be attained that the several axial channels or groups of axial channels will exhaust at different points of the rotor by radial discharge openin dimensioning the cross-sections of t e axial periphery of the channels as Wellas those of the radial channels it is possible to regulate the quantity of the discharging'air and to take care that sufficient cooling air will be as shown in Figs. 1, 2,

be made in the generalarrangement of the channels, for instance in Fig. 9 are shown more than two groups of axial channels at different depths of the rotor, which channels are made by a corresponding number depths from the periphery of the rotor. For instance additional bores may be provided at the teeth in which case it is preferable to placethe recesses a, which are of least depth, as near the mid length or central transverse axis as possible,

' and to arrange the deeper recesses b and c the rotor-body, as

more toward the ends of shown'in Fig. 9, in order to preserve the maximum strength of the rotor body. In this case it will be necessary to provide closed walls for the axial channels at the intersecting-points as, y and a so as to prevent the outermost axially arranged channels from exhausting through the radial ducts which-are nearer the ends of the rotor.

This can be accomplished in various man- .ners for instance by simply inserting tubes into the axial bores 1 and 2 after having made the recesses which-tubes again close the cut-open axial channel at the intersecting points'w, 'y and z for the proper radial I Having; thus described our invention we.
